My son, Pierre Brent, a student that recently transferred from S.T.N Community College, is being held liable for a portion of the Title IV funds that he was eligible to receive for the spring 2013 semester that had allegedly been refunded to him in error by the school. The financial administration has not resolved the matter, therefore, I am escalating this matter to your office for a solution.

We called the bursar's office to discuss the matter and were referred to T R Daley, the financial aid director but she referred me to Sam Wong who referred me to the director of the bursar's office, Tony Carson. After reviewing the facts of the case, Mr. Carson lifted the hold on my son's account but told me he did not have the jurisdiction to waive the charges. He said he would refer the facts to Ms. Daley and organize a conference call with her and me but soon after he stopped answering my calls. Instead, I spoke to Sam Wong who referred me back to Ms. Daley who then referred me back to Mr. Carson's office. So I was forced to contact Ms. Daley again and finally a conference call was set up. However, during the conference call, instead of resolving the situation at hand, Ms. Daley chose to question my son as if to criminalize him about the refund disbursed to him and then abruptly exited the conference shortly thereafter. There was absolutely zero responsibility taken for the mistake that had occurred. Mr. Carson then referred the case to the ombudsman who also provided no solution.
This is what the president spoke of in his State of the Union address when he said he wanted to hold institutions more accountable. He even proposed to increase educational funding so that students could attend community colleges for free. He is also moving ahead to expand federal income-based repayment programs and working with Senator Alexander to simplify student federal aid. In this case, however, the community college is blaming the student for accepting the financial aid refund issued to him by the school and now, two years later, demanding that he pay the funds

In mid-1999, a student by the name of B.J. Durham transferred schools as a result of his mother’s divorce and financial struggles. B.J. was a cross-country/track star at his previous school, Park Tudor Private High School, and was rumored to be moving for athletically-motivated reasons. Because of the hearsay, B.J. was not granted full-eligibility by the IHSAA but partial. B.J., the plaintiff in this case, was also denied access to the Hardship Exception which would’ve granted him athletic eligibility in full. B.J. and his family took their case to court. The court issued a permanent injunction against the IHSAA’s decision, to which the IHSAA later appealed. The court stood on their decision,

My complaint is Millsaps College in violation of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA) failed to preserve my educational record.

In 1984, Grove City College officials, in order to keep an autonomous institution, did not accept federal funds or aids. However, things became complicated when the college accepted a large amount of students who received Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOGs). Because grants are given by a federal bureau, the ED saw this as the Grove City College officials accepting federal funds. As a result, the ED put the Grove City under the order of TITLE IX; therefore, they also had to issue an Assurance of Compliance form and get Grove College City to sign it. When Grove City refused to sign the compliance form the ED cut off the financial aid to the students attending the college.

The debate of whether community college should be free or not has been going on for many years. For the most part, many students have been able to have free education even if the are low income or high income. Most students are able to have equal educational opportunity to be able to learn for around 12 years. If it has been going on for 12 years, then why not make higher education free as well. In the article written by Joanne Jacobs titled, “As He Promotes It, Some Question Obama’s Free Community College Idea” discusses the main arguments on whether Obama’s plan of making community college free plan can be a benefit or a waste of money. Community college offers the ability to be able to finish one’s first 2 years of their general general education plan at a free or reduced price compared to completing general ed a a 4 year institution. Community college should be free because it allows lower income students the ability to have their tuition paid as well as their books and it allows students to be able to earn their bachelor's at a better rate.
The CSW stated she researched and discovered that there was a hold on Alabama Office of Court (AOC). AOC had taken funds for three months and was holding the funds; we were not able to determine why there was a hold. The attorney’s office requested AOC to lift the hold and disbursed the funds. The payments for November 2015, December 2015, and January 2016 were sent to DHR in the amount of $1,106.20; the payment was never received in February 2016. The NCP needs to contact Social Security regarding February’s payment. The money was applied to the balances that were owed; $200.00 of the balance was genetic testing, which was not a part of the judgment on the NCP’s court order. There was a balance of $211.67 interest. After the $1,106.20 was applied against the balance that left an overpayment of $694.53 that was refunded to the NCP. In addition, a lien was placed on the NCP’s retirement check for $145.67, which was refunded to the NCP. DHR has received no additional payments, everything that had been overpaid has been refunded to the NCP, and the case is now

In less than ten years with his company, he had moved through several positions of responsibility.
There was not a real choice for the parents unless they researched on their own and use a different method of negotiation. However, the parents kept the negotiation method as explained by Fisher and Ury (2011), “the soft negotiation game emphasizes the importance of building and maintaining a relationship” (p. 9). They knew that if they were unsuccessful while defending their claims, the district could not pay Jerry’s education. However, they did not know all the rights that they had available to fight the decision.
